Any one into RC quadcopters? DJI Inspire

I don't call them Drones because it makes them sound like weapons used in war and has giving them a bad name for consumer hobbiests. I started out with a Blade QX and really enjoy using it not to mention I've flown small RC helis. Im thinking the DJI Inspire may be the next one assuming i can get insurance for it. It is a bit pricey but probably the most amazing piece of tech for $3000 you can buy.

I have been thinking to get one for almost a year

At this price I think you need to go the commercial route

Anyway we still need to wait what the FAA decides regarding licensing

I thought about picking up the DJ Phantom2 package from Amazon, the one with the GoPro.

saw a guy flying one at a local festival , well , i saw the heli thing , and a lot of people looking for him ,,, he wasnt meant to be flying over the crowd and he was ,, this thing was about two and a half feet square , it looked very serious , ill bet the images were great , but never saw those either ,,,
they do look like they would be fun for a few hours ,,, maybe a whole new hobby
